Question 7 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

Which statement describes a main difference between CPR performed on adults and CPR performed on infants?

Answer
A
For adults only, alternate between compressions and breathing.
B
For adults only, do compressions before calling 911.
C
For infants only, perform light chest compressions and shallow rescue breathing.
D
For infants only, check for signs of life and circulation first.

Explanation

Infant CPR uses gentler, shallower chest compressions than adult CPR because an infant’s chest is much smaller and more delicate. Rescue breaths should also be gentle—just enough to make the chest rise. Adults also receive cycles of compressions and breaths, so that is not an adult-only difference.
